Li Zhi, who was only in his twenties, stepped forward and saluted the two of them. The gilt Mingguang armor sets off his majestic appearance and handsomeness.
"My dear nephew, you're welcome."
Cheng Mu and Zhu Di returned the gift at the same time.
It¡¯s just that Cheng Mu felt something strange in his heart. What does it mean to be called uncle by someone who is a few years older than you?
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear nephew."
Zhu Di didn't think too much, he just greeted him enthusiastically.
It is really like being a biological uncle or nephew, caring about Li Zhi eagerly.
"hehe."
Seeing such a scene, Cheng Mu smiled and shook his head.
He naturally knows what Zhu Di means. The implication of Li Zhi calling him uncle is also self-evident.
This Li Zhi also disagrees with marrying his sister to Cheng Mu.
After naturally calling Cheng Mu uncle, Cheng Mu is his elder and also Si'er's elder.
"As an elder, how can any uncle marry his niece?"
"Kihuang."
At this time, Zhu Di turned around and said to Cheng Mu: "Since my nephew has arrived, how about we go in first?"
With Li Zhi here, he has become a bit dominant.
"please."
Cheng Mu didn¡¯t criticize or argue. Instead, he was very generous and invited the two of them in.
Since Li Zhi is so determined, he is determined to be this uncle!
In the city, in the palace of the Sand King.
Lei Dun has arranged everything. Not only are there young and beautiful maids to serve you, but there are also mighty and domineering warriors of the Sand tribe to protect you.
At the dust-washing banquet, Cheng Mu raised his wine glass high.
"On behalf of the Apocalypse Empire, I welcome the arrival of Emperor Ming and his nephew."
Since you are the master, you must also have the atmosphere of a master.
Zhu Di raised his glass: "The Emperor Qi is polite."
Li Zhi Tongju: "My two uncles have to work hard these days."
He knew the purpose of his coming. So for now, he still stands with Zhu Di.
? Later, when changing cups and cups.
Cheng Mu first introduced the virtuous ministers and generals under his command.
As the first counselor of the Apocalypse Empire, Guo Jia is also attending the banquet as his companion.
Talented generals such as Zhao Yun and Zhang Wanlong also attended as representatives at this time.
Yijian Qingxin, March Fathu and others sat at the back as representatives of the rangers.
What Cheng Mu wants to show is not just the strength of his soldiers. He also has the strength of a large group of virtuous ministers, good generals and elite rangers under his command.
The national war has begun until now, and there is no point in hiding it.
Zhu Di did not hide his clumsiness.
The three Duoyan guards who came to escort were only part of the strength of the Ming Dynasty. To protect the generals, he brought the brave Chang Yuchun and the experienced Lan Yu.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? One Chang Yuchun is worth an army of millions.
Li Zhi is also demonstrating the power of the Tang Empire.
His bodyguard is the famous Yulin Guard.
As the imperial army guarding Chang'an City, the Yulin Guards are already super elite. And the bodyguards Li Zhi chose this time were even more elite among the elite.
The strength of these more than 10,000 people has all reached the overlord level.
Coupled with the powerful Mingguang Armor, these ten thousand people are like heavenly soldiers in the sky!
This is also the only place where these Ten Thousand Yu Lin Guards can surpass the Apocalypse soldiers in terms of color.
In terms of strength, Li Zhi's overlord-level Yulinwei, who was extremely proud of himself, was not worth mentioning in front of the half-step super-god-level Apocalypse soldiers.
But this is not the most important thing.
The sense of superiority of a big country makes Li Zhi still confident.
His subordinate is Changsun Wuji, the number one counselor in the Tang Dynasty and the leader of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Next to Changsun Wuji, there is also the super general of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong.
In terms of commanding operations, Qin Qiong is indeed inferior to Li Jing, Su Dingbian, Xue Rengui and others.
But when it comes to martial arts, Qin Qiong has few opponents.
Qin Qiong, who is now in her twenties, is really the center of attention wherever she goes.
Of course, Cheng Mu¡¯s eyes were not just on him. More than anything else, Cheng Mu preferred to look at Changsun Wuji.
As the first hero of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji¡¯s immortal meritorious deeds areHeart, that hasn¡¯t changed. "
"Thousands of soldiers are waiting to be reunited with their families in Xiaoliuqiu."
As a son, Zhu Di has lost a face of Zhu Yuanzhang. If he makes any more humble requests now, then Daming's backbone will really be broken.
Today he, Zhu Di, came here just to see Cheng Mu¡¯s attitude in person.
If Cheng Mu acts recklessly again, why should he be afraid of a fight?
"Kihuang."
At this time, Changsun Wuji also said: "You should also understand what His Majesty means."
¡°Only when we are united can we be called brothers.¡±
He was echoing Zhu Di's words. At the same time, it is also a threat.
If Cheng Mu remains stubborn, the two countries may no longer be brothers.
When Cheng Mu rejected Li Shimin's kindness at first, Li Shimin's heart finally changed a little bit.
If we can unite with the Ming Empire, it will not be a big loss.
Sometimes it is not necessary to really destroy the Apocalypse Empire. It's okay to teach Cheng Mu a lesson and make this little brother more obedient.
"Haha, of course I understand."
Cheng Mu nodded. He didn't expect the two of them to fall out so quickly. Are you really not afraid that you might fall out with yourself?
By then, it will be impossible for everyone to walk out of Beishen Palace alive!
"Since everyone is here, I won't show off."
After nodding, Cheng Mu directly stated his request: "You, Ming, bring out items worth the value of Xiaoliuqiu, which were obtained in exchange for the blood of my Apocalypse soldiers."
At first, the covenant stated that he would assist the Ming Empire in killing Liu Xiu. But the covenant did not mention the handling of Xiaoliuqiu.
"Can."
Zhu Di nodded: "I, Ming Dynasty, can give you some silver. But that is not to redeem Xiaoliuqiu, but to pay you the military expenses of the Apocalypse Empire!"
The words "redemption of Xiaoliuqiu" and "military expenditure" have completely different meanings.
"Can."
Cheng Mu agreed. But he still had a request: "Zheng Zhilong is mine, you Ming Dynasty can't interfere!"
When Zhu Di and Changsun Wuji's words came to that, he had to think carefully.
Sometimes integrity is important, but timing is also important. Maybe now is not the best time to occupy Xiaoliuqiu.
If there is no Xiaoliuqiu, let¡¯s use Zheng Zhilong¡¯s Shenlong Island to make up for it.
"That won't work."
However, Zhu Di refused.
"Then Zheng Zhilong is already an official of my Ming Dynasty."
In terms of value, is Zheng Zhilong¡¯s Shenlong Island worth far more than Xiaoliuqiu?
Although Xiaoliuqiu was the maritime barrier of the Ming Empire. But the Shenlong Island is a super large sea barrier.
And within this barrier, there are countless resources that can be supplied to the Ming Empire.
Which one is more important is clear at a glance.
"Emperor Ming, greed is not a good thing."
At this time, Cheng Mu¡¯s voice began to turn gloomy: ¡°Then Zheng Zhilong destroyed our Kyushu fleet, and I, the Tianqi Empire, will definitely avenge this.¡±
"Please, Emperor Ming, understand the situation clearly!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
